Please help me tell if my pullets are cockerels.

Just as my name states, I am the new chick mama. My husband is in Iraq.. and i've been thinking of ways to keep the food bill low, yet have lot of food. So I thought chickens. Went to the family farm store, found some baby pullets, and got them. Well I just wanted one, but instead got two.

So that made me the proud owner of a barred rock (Helga) and a arucana (Olga). (June 1st is when they were purchased)

So were chilling out, relaxing all cool....
Today I looked at the back of their legs.

Bumps. GREAT!
Now instead of eggs, im going to wake up one morning to a roasting chicken in the oven.
...When your husband is in infantry with ptsd.. they go into survivalist mode.

and i am pretty sure you dont need rocks in the water... how deep is the water? if it is about 1/2 of an inch or a little bigger you dont need rocks, even an inch is fine.. but i guess if you want to be safe put rocks in the water..

My BR looks just the same, she was hatched on 5/27. I am counting on her being a girl. But her comb is still yellow, as it looks like yours is. As for Olga...I am still looking at my EEs and wondering.

Barred Rock is definitely a pullet; I raise them. The Easter Egger will take awhile before you can be sure-they take longer for the cockerels to "bloom" sometimes, but it seems girly to me, although I cant see the comb well.
